NEC DEMONSTRATES THE POWER OF REAL-TIME UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS AND COLLABORATION
Hannover, Germany – March 14, 2007 – Today’s economy demands instant communications and availability of information, with solutions that drive revenue, minimise costs and offer superb responsiveness to customers.
At CeBIT (Hannover, 15-21 March) NEC is showing the power of converged enterprise communications that support voice, data, web and video collaboration.
The solutions on show draw on NEC’s expertise in networking, enterprise mobility, Unified Communications and Collaboration applications that enable organizations and teams to cooperate more productively thanks to real-time communications.
